Vlore in 1 day — FAQ

Can you see Vlore in one day?
The city takes a couple of hours and the bay takes the rest. One day is enough for a half-day boat and an evening walk, which covers the essentials; what you lose is the Riviera south of the Llogara pass.
What is the best boat tour from Vlore for one day?
The half-day speedboat to Haxhi Ali cave, Sazan island and the Karaburun coves, at €27–€45. It covers the marine park, gets you swimming in the clearest water on the bay, and leaves the afternoon free.
How much does a day in Vlore cost?
Roughly €40–€65 per person: a shared speedboat at €27–€45, a meal on the promenade for €10–€15, and the city sights — Independence Square, the mosque, Kuzum Baba — either free or a token entry fee.
